The First Run on a Bank,

The extravagant luxury of the court
of Charles IL, combined with its utter
want Of principle and incapacity to
carry on the memorable contest with
Holland. produced the first run upon
bankers that ever was made. The
Government had suffered a succession
of humIliating disasters. The eXtrava-
gance of the court had dissipated all
the means that Parliament had SUD.
piled for the purpose of carrying on Of
fensive hostilities. 1t was finally de-
termined to wage only defensive war,
but even for that the vast resources Of
England were found insufficient. The
Dutch insulted the British Court, SAIL
ed up the Thames, took Sheerness, and
carried their ravages to Chatham. The
blaze of the burning ships was seen III
London, it was rumored that a foreign
army had landed at Gravesend, and
military men seriously proposed to
abandon the Tower.
Tie people accustomed to the secure
re On of Cromwell, were in consterna-
tion. The moneyed portion of the COM
munity were seized with a panic. The
country was in danger; London itself
might be invaded. What security was
there then for the money advanced 10
the Crownp The people locked to
their debtors and demanded their de-
posits. London now witnessed the first
run upon the bankersl
The fears of the people, however,
proved groundless, for the goldsmiths.
as the bankers We're then called, met all
demands that were made upon them.
Confidence was restored by royal proc
lamation that the demands on the ex-
chequer should be made as usual, and
the Iun collapsed.

"Oh, certainly. Nanny, you light
another candle and I'll show the gen.
tlemen around. Perhaps the sight of
Billy's old clothes Will do 'em good.
Well, sir, we hunted that house
from attic to cellar, and all we found
was an old suit of Billy's clothes. The
scout had skipped, and the best could
do was to apologize to mother and
daughter, accept a midnight luncheon
at the hands OF the latter, and take the
back track for the river. I'll own up,

How Burglars Have Their Tools
Made.

Z. j. Jennings, an east side engineer
and machinist, tells an interesting story
about his dealings with a burglar. He
was sitting in his office one day few
months ago when two men entered
with design they wanted made of
steel. He took the job and turned it
out according To order. The men
came next day, and after chatting
pleasantly about the Doodle aldermen
and other matters OF popular interest in
the city, paid their bill and went away.
Several other designs were brought
him by the two men, and he got to
know them quite well. He did not
learn their business, however, but 1t
i5 such a common thing to deal with
men whom one knows only by sight,
that MIR. Jennings never bothered his
head about it.
But he found out who the men were
after all.
One day they called to have him
make half a dozen eight inch steel
screws. He promised them for 8
O'Clock, but the men did not come
He did Dot see them the next day or
the next. On the third day one of
Pinkerton's detectives dropped in upon
him in the afternoon, carrying a hand
satchel. He opened 1t and threw a lot
OF curiously shaped pieces of steel on
tie table.
''Were these made in your shop, Mr..
Jenningsp" casually remarked the de-
tective.
''Yes, that's our work"
"Who did you make them forr"
wow you've got me-it's more than
/ can tell. | never had any reason tC
inquire, and the men didn't bother
about telling me-"
''But you are sure you made that
steel work here?"
"Yes, oh yes; Pm sure enough OF
that"
Two days later Mr.. Jennings was
subpoenaed by the prosecution as a
witness against two men who had at
tempted to crack the safe in bank In
Ellenville, Ulster county. He met a
Harlem machlnist and an iron worker
from down town at the court house in
Kingston. Plnkerton's men opened
wide their eyes when he took the
pieces of steel that each had shaped.
and, putting them together, showed
them what perfect sectional jimmy
they made.
